Article Abstract
Recently, the metasurface, with full control of electromagnetic wave properties over a deep-subwavelength thin surface, has been widely exploited in radar and communication systems, and is important for next-generation wireless power transfer systems, 6G communications, and other technologies. In these contexts, there are high demands for active metasurface devices with a simple feeding structure, high gain, and full-space beamforming. Here, a multifunctional leaky Fourier surface (LFS) based on a metasurface is proposed to achieve complete control of leaky electromagnetic waves through Fourier engineering. Such LFS directly maps the on-demand electromagnetic functionalities into the profile of a microstrip line with sinusoidal bends by customizing the Fourier components of the leaky surface. In doing so, we have shown several complicated and advanced functionalities, including wideband beam scanning, multiple beam generation with arbitrary gain ratios, omnidirectional scanning, and dual-beam full-space scanning. Our LFS architecture with superior beamforming capabilities is important for next-generation wireless energy, information, and communications systems.

Multi-Beam frequency scanning leaky-wave antennas (FBS-LWAs) offer a viable solution for hardware miniaturization in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation systems. However, the presence of multiple spatial harmonics results in responses in multiple directions for a given incident source, introducing estimation ambiguity and significantly challenging accurate DOA estimation. Moreover, due to the nonlinear frequency response of the FBS-LWA, its response matrix does not satisfy the Vandermonde structure, which renders common rank-recovery techniques ineffective for processing coherent signals.

Ultrasonic leaky Rayleigh wave enables easy automated detection of surface or sub-surface defects due to its non-contact detection advantages. The existing leaky Rayleigh wave detection methods using single transducer suffer from low focused energy and short detection range. To solve these problems, this paper adopts the detection method of leaky Rayleigh wave generated by phased array, and proposes an imaging algorithm using extended phase shift migration (EPSM) and image fusion.

Controlling passive diffusion through an amphiphilic membrane is a key factor for the development of future smart generations of drug delivery systems. It also plays a crucial role in understanding fundamental biological systems through the design of new artificial cell models. We report herein a new concept of bolalipids designed as key components for the control of the membrane's permeability.

In non-destructive evaluation guided wave inspections, the elastic structure to be inspected is often embedded within other elastic media and the ensuing leaky waves are complex and non-trivial to compute; we consider the canonical example of an elastic waveguide surrounded by other elastic materials that demonstrates the fundamental issues with calculating the leaky waves in such systems. Due to the complex wavenumber solutions required to represent them, leaky waves pose significant challenges to existing numerical methods, with methods that spatially discretise the field to retrieve them suffering from the exponential growth of their amplitude far into the surrounding media. We present a spectral collocation method yielding an accurate and efficient identification of these modes, leaking into elastic half-spaces.
